I think I’ve started to believe in love again

I remember all the negative things about love I said

Those negative feelings have started to go away

Because I met woman who only portrays

The beautiful scenarios I imagine in my head

The type of things in books that I have confidently read

She gives me butterflies every time she kisses me

My stomach all jittery like waves in a sea

I lose myself every time I look into her eyes

Wonder how I still got her it still brings me by surprise

The fact she’s still around and hasn’t left makes me cry

I know I’m not enough for her but in the end I still try

Love is beautiful but also extremely scary

If I scare her away that pain won’t be temporary

I want to give her the world and everything that’s in it

Because she brought me back to life that I struggle to admit

I was angry and mad for as long as I can remember

Our little love story started at the end of September

She ignites my soul like a flame to a candle

My worst fear is losing her because of my issues no one can handle
